Just took the Intro to Psych CLEP and scored a 73 after studying for 5 days. It was my first CLEP and I had no prior knowledge of psychology.
I primarily studied InstantCert material and supplemented that with info from Wikipedia. The night before the test I bought REA's prep book for Psych and it really helped. The best way to describe it is that Instantcert info gives you all the facts, then the REA book took those facts and told a story with them that you could easily internalize. It wasn't that the REA book had a whole lot of additional information - it was just the format of putting it all together in "big picture" form. If I hadn't learned all of the InstantCert info prior to reading the REA book, it (the book) wouldn't have been nearly as helpful in that short of a time frame.
I am planning on taking several more CLEP exams in the near future and InstantCert will be my primary method of preparation.
If only you had college algebra!!!
